Ambassador for School Project

Greetings- I'm looking for an ambassador interested in supporting a project I'm doing with students.

I am librarian at a school in Palo Alto, CA. I will be working with about 65 students to do some editing on Simple English Wikipedia. They are working on a project that involves researching female figures in the Middle Ages. They will research in library reference sources and then they will edit and cite the sources they reference in the Simple English Wikipedia article.

They will create their accounts in the day or two prior to the workshop, and they will be doing the actual editing from about 2:00-3:15 PST on Wednesday, February 27, 2013.

One potential issue is that due to the configuration of our school's wifi network, Wikipedia's servers will receive heavy traffic from our school's IP range. Please be alerted that this heavy traffic is not spam.

It would be excellent if an ambassador was able to "hover over" our work during the time of the project, so that if any issues arise we have someone to contact for support. If you are available during this window of time or know someone else who would be available, please let me know.

Thanks so much for supporting student projects! Castilibrary (talk) 17:32, 7 February 2013 (UTC)
